Macrinus shared a same-sex smooch on screen in Ridley Scott's Gladiator 2, but Denzel Washington says it got cut

Gladiator 2 arrives in theaters this weekend, and if you were hoping to see Denzel Washington’s character kiss a man, well I’ve got bad news for you. While that scene was apparently filmed, it was cut because, according to Washington, the people in charged chickened out.

Gladiator II star Denzel Washington reveals his same-sex kiss was cut from the Roman epic, a moment he described as his character's "kiss of death."
